Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good quality, but doesn't have noise cancelling effect.

I will declare that I'm a bit of a Bose fan having bought many Bose lifestyle systems, iPod docks and headphones. I bought this pair for my wife and she loves them. I have the noise cancelling versions because I am on planes frequently. But, you do not need the NC versions of you're not in a noisy environment. Indeed these are slightly preferable because they're even lighter. The sound is rich and balanced without an unnatural tendency towards bass which many of the competitive brands seem to have. Brilliant headphones and good value.

The Bose SoundTrue headphones are very light and portable. They come with a nice travel case to protect them in transit, although it is a soft material. The sound is very good for the price range; these are the best option <$100 unless you consider yourself an audiophile, in which case I would recommend the Sennheiser HD 558s instead (although they are much bulkier and do not include a case). While the sound is clear, the bass lacks oomph. If you are a bass-head, you will better appreciate the Sony Extra Bass headphones for an extra $30. The included cable is absurdly long, which is convenient sometimes but it also can get in the way if you intend to listen on the go. If you want headphones to workout in the Jabra Moves are a good choice, but they are on-ear. Really, these work all right for exercise, but the cups will get sweaty quickly and the cable can sometimes be obstructive. If you want good headphones you can listen to and forgot your wearing, these are excellent, and the reasonable cost is a massive uptick.

These headphones provide great clear sound. I heard details I never heard before with other headphones. The tone is full and rich. They are also very comfortable for extended listening: I wore them for hours, with eyeglasses on, and they felt great. Also very lightweight.

After trying to find headphones that were comfortable to wear for long periods of time, these became the obvious choice when trying on all the different options at my local store. They are so comfortable and don't squeeze your head/ears at all. They just sit just perfectly which means there is no pain after extended use. There are plenty of adjustments available to make them fit perfectly. They come with a sturdy, zip-close case, which is very helpful for packing them and taking them on-the-go safely. The detachable cord has an inline remote and microphone. These headphones are compatible with my Apple devices. Bose offers great sound quality, as always. I am not an audiophile, so my review is really based on the Bose brand being a quality sound producing company and the very comfortable fit of the actual product. (One missing star because the cord that comes with the headphones is very tiny. It's long enough, but I am sure that it will be the first thing that has to be replaced because it's so thin. I am thankful that it has the ability to be replaced very easily as both ends are detachable. Take note that it's a 2.5mm and 3.5mm male cable.)

Excellent natural sound, doesnt have the excessive bass like many headphones. Very comfortable fit, decent passive noise reduction. Would definitely buy again

I am not a humhead, but these things are great. SOOOO comfy, I was able to listen for hours on a long travel day, between airplanes, airports. Listened to audiobook, music, used for a movie on my long-leg flight. Definitely clear and far better than using earbuds on the airline media systems that you plug into. Also, these are NOT noise canceling, but very effective at letting you focus on what you want to be hearing in your ears and not necessarily every other jot and tittle of humanity on the plan.

These headphones are a very good option if you don't need wireless. Sound is very good, lightweight and comfortable

As expected from owning other Bose products, I have found the Bose SoundTrue Around-the-Ear headphones for Apple products to be exactly "what the doctor ordered"... high-quality sound and true comfort. I couldn't ask for more, especially for under $200. And, their usefulness is not limited to Apple devices.

I've had Bose headphones before this pair and loved them, the last pair I bought weren't Bose and while they sounded good they just weren't comfortable to wear all day. These new Bose headphones are lightweight, comfortable and the sound is excellent, while they aren't specifically noise cancelling they do a good job of blocking out most background noise. The microphone is excellent and I use it a lot more than I thought I would.

I bought these headphones to replace my old Bose ones which I got five years ago at Best Buy and which became a little worn out. I just love this brand. They are nose cancelling, sound perfect and are very comfortable. Remote and microphone make changing volume and finding music much easier. Great purchase.

Love these Soundtrue headphones. I wear headphones 8-10 hours daily and need quality sound, ease of use, a light weight and these provide all of that! They are perfect for me. No battery was a must. I tried the headphones that needed a battery and returned them. Went through 6 batteries in two months!

I love the shape of the muffs. They are offset to allow space for the outer ear, and not press on any cartilage of the ear. The sound is great. Can listen for hours comfortably. For not being noise canceling, they are still pretty effective at helping you hear what's playing and not what's around you.

If you never owned a pair of Bose headphones or anything by Bose then your ears are in for a treat. Of real crisp sound that's not saturated with heavy bass and the mid levels are just that and treble works. These fit very comfortable and they at over the ear meaning that these headphones enclose the whole ear and delivers rich sound. Are they the same as beats no not by a long shot beats are very heavy with bass on where it kills the lyrics to your songs and you will be look for a way to turn down the bass fast but it's great for teens and young adults cause those are the trend. but Bose has sound down to a science and you will not be disappointed with Bose.

yes, some people complaining there is not enough base in the headphones. However, if you are a base player in a rock band and you only like base this in not the headphones for you. If you enjoy a clear sound and want to identify all instruments, this is the way to go

Very comfortable to wear while enjoying my music. Drowns out the other sounds and there is such clarity.

These headphones provide great, clear sound. Metal fans might want heavier bass though. They are comfortable for hours on end, and lightweight. Would buy again.

This is one of the most comfortable headphones available. It completely surrounds the ear lobes, putting no pressure on your ears at all. I wear glasses, and I find these headphones to be very comfortable for long wear. The sound quality is very good--not absolutely incredible, but at this price, the combination of sound quality and comfortable is unbeatable, in my opinion. I own a set of the Beoplay H6 headphones, and while the B&O sound better, they are not as comfortable as these Bose headphones. Definitely recommended based on value, comfort, and sound quality.

exchanged my Beats headphones for these - much lighter more comfortable and a great sound plus cheaper . Beats need charging for their noise reduction system which imho doesnt wrok anyway and they broke on me. Bose is the way to go esp in the sale !! $104 !!
